Chapter 207 I'm Making Poison
Looking at Yu Youning's eyes full of expectation, Wei Zhao shook his head decisively, "No!"
If you say no, then it’s no.
"oh."
Yu Youning was a little disappointed, and his expression became lost.
But the movements of his hands did not stop.
Chu Huaixu thought Yu Youning was packing up.
But after staring for a while, he found that Yu Youning was not packing up at all, but continued to make her poison step by step and in an orderly manner.
"Youning, why are you still doing it? Didn't I tell you not to?" Chu Huaixu asked curiously.
"I can still do it even if it doesn't work!" Yu Youning answered as a matter of course, "I just won't let them use it. I can put it aside after I finish it. Maybe it will be useful in the future! I can't give up halfway, right? Zhu Xuezheng said that giving up halfway is not good!"
Chu Huai Preface, "..."
What Zhu Xuezhen said about not giving up halfway definitely does not include making poison.
Chu Huaixu wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to refute.
After staring at Yu Youning's movements for a long time, Chu Huaixu asked another question, "Youning, what kind of poison are you making?"
"A new kind... I added poisonous mushrooms to it. Eating it will cause hallucinations. I think you'll die in hallucinations, so it won't be too painful."
"What kind of illusions are you seeing?"
"I don't know! So I want to find someone to try it."
Chu Huaixu shut up instantly and even wanted to take back the question.
Yu Youning sighed at this time, "But there probably isn't any chance right now. I originally wanted to try it at the banquet."
Jiang Lingzhou had been silent the whole time, but now he looked over and said, "It's OK for a death row inmate. He's going to die sooner or later anyway, so trying the medicine can be considered a contribution before he dies, and it can be considered a worthy death."
Chu Huaixu looked towards Jiang Lingzhou and his eyes met Jiang Lingzhou's.
Jiang Lingzhou raised his eyebrows. "What are you looking at me for? Am I wrong?"
"It's not wrong." Chu Huaixu said seriously, "I just feel a little sad."
"What are you sighing about?"
"Luckily you're a good person!"
Otherwise, if we look for death row prisoners now, what if we can’t find them in the future?
It’s still too dangerous to have such thoughts!
Jiang Lingzhou snorted coldly, "Who told you I'm a good person?"
He wouldn't admit that he was a good person.
Yu Youning shouted at this time, "Junior Brother, you are a good person! Yesterday you were providing free medical treatment to the eunuchs, maids and guards in the palace!"
After his true identity was exposed, Jiang Lingzhou's face turned red, and he quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Chu Huaixu smiled silently.
He knew that Jiang Lingzhou must be a good person.
Seeing Jiang Lingzhou was silent, Yu Youning looked at Chu Huaixu, "Ah Xu, why are you coming to see me at this time? Is there something wrong?"
"have."
Chu Huaixu said, taking out the secret letter, "You'll know after you take a look."
Yu Youning could only stop what he was doing, pick up the secret letter and take a look at it.
Yu Youning was reading the secret letter, and Chu Huaixu was looking at Yu Youning.
He thought that Yu Youning would be very happy after seeing this news.
But that is not the case.
After reading it, Yu Youning was not happy at all, and even frowned.
He looked like he was very sad.
"Youning?" Chu Huaixu was a little surprised. "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Yu Youning shook his head. "I'm not very happy. After Wei Zhao issued the decree, those beautiful aunts were almost killed. Several guards were also killed, and so many people were injured. If such a decree was issued in the capital, would it kill others?"
Her original intention in doing this was to make those beautiful aunts and all the women in the world live a better life, not to kill them, let alone indirectly kill others.
Looking at Yu Youning's furrowed brow and listening to her somewhat heavy words, Chu Huaixu said seriously, "Youning, all new laws and regulations are not so easy to implement. If you want to succeed, it must be accompanied by blood."
"I know."
Yu Youning pursed her lips.
"I just don't want to."
After saying this, she said nothing more, lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the herbs.
Looking at her small and thin body, Chu Huaixu didn't know what to say.
Youning is kind-hearted.
Attach great importance to the lives of all living beings.
This is a good thing.
At least it's a good thing for the people.
But for Youning herself...
Chu Huaixu put the secret letter away, found a place to sit down, took out a book from his arms, and started reading.
He didn't know how to comfort Yu Youning now. He couldn't help with what Yu Youning was doing, but he didn't want to leave. He could only sit here and read a book, accompanying her silently.
Huo Qingchen looked at the busy Yu Youning and Jiang Lingzhou, then looked at Chu Huaixu who was reading a book. He simply walked into the yard and began to wave the sword in his hand.
In a room not far away, Yu Tingwan stood by the window, staring at the scene for a long time.
When he turned around, he saw Chu Huaishan and Wen Shiyan playing chess, without a trace of sadness on their faces.
Yu Tingwan walked over and sat down. "Mr. Chu, do we really not have to do anything?"
Chu Huaishan placed the chess piece on the board with a smile on his face. "No need. These kids are even more capable than we imagined. If we want them to succeed, we have to learn to let go. With our help, things can indeed be resolved faster and better, and they won't feel so bad, but this doesn't do them any good. It's precisely because they have so many backers that they should be allowed to experience more setbacks."
Wen Shiyan nodded in agreement. "Tingwan, Elder Chu is right. It's better to suffer setbacks in childhood than to suffer them again when you grow up, right? There are so many gifted people in this world who have smooth sailing at first, but after growing up, they suffer a setback and never recover. You certainly don't want Youning and the others to be like that, do you?"
Yu Tingwan understood what the two said.
But as a mother, she is always more soft-hearted and can't bear to let her sweet and cute daughter go through all this at such a young age.
Seeing that Yu Tingwan was still frowning, Wen Shiyan decided to attract her attention.
"I received a message this morning that you might be interested in."
"What news?" Yu Tingwan looked at Wen Shiyan curiously.
"Lin Yu returned to the capital and saw Madam Lin paralyzed in bed. He felt very guilty and beat himself up before deciding to go to Yaowang Valley to look for someone."
Yu Tingwan frowned.
Wen Shiyan paused and continued, "After Lin Yu left, the village head knew that Madam Lin's health was not recovering, so he began to embezzle a lot of money and stole a lot of Madam Lin's dowry. Now that Lin Yu has returned, he is afraid that this matter will be exposed. He plans to kill Madam Lin and the maid before Lin Yu returns, and then put the blame on the maid."
"Shameless. Heartless!"
Yu Tingwan's face was filled with anger.
It wasn’t for Madam Lin, nor for Lin Yu, nor for that little maid.
She was just simple and didn't like people like Zhuangtou.
"Send someone to control the village head, and let Lin Yu deal with the rest when he gets back!" Yu Tingwan said.
Wen Shiyan knew that Yu Tingwan would say this, so he smiled and said, "I have already passed the message back, don't worry."
"Um."
Yu Tingwan said this, slowly stood up and returned to his room.
Looking at Yu Tingwan's back, Chu Huaishan pointed at Wen Shiyan and said with a smile, "You little bastard."
When Yu Tingwan was told the news at this time, she felt complicated and didn't care about anything else.
"Since everything is going to make Tingwan worry, it's better to worry about this." Wen Shiyan said with a smile.
...
Yu Youning and Jiang Lingzhou finally made a lot of poison, filling three porcelain bottles.
Huo Qingchen had just finished practicing sword skills. His cheeks were flushed and he was sweating, but his eyes were full of curiosity.
"Youning, you've done so much! Give me some!"
Yu Tingwan looked at Huo Qingchen strangely, "What do you want this for?"
"Just in case of emergency! Who knows, it might come in handy someday!"
“But I don’t know how effective it will be!”
"It's okay, any effect is fine, I'll keep it for now!"
Yu Youning thought about it and refused, "No, I don't know the effect, so I can't give it to you."
"Yu Youning! We've known each other for such a long time, how could you be so stingy to me!"
Yu Youning protected the bottle, stiffened his neck, and said with reason and evidence, "I'm not being stingy, I'm considering the safety of you and others!"
Listening to the two people arguing endlessly, Chu Huaixu felt relieved.
Yu Youning had the energy to argue with Huo Qingchen, so her mood should have improved a lot.
It seems that Huo Qingchen is still somewhat useful!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is New Year's Eve.
New Year’s Eve is a big day, and a palace banquet will be held in the palace.
All civil and military officials, as long as they are well-known, are eligible to attend the palace banquet.
But compared with previous years, this year is obviously not as lively.
It had not been long since the late emperor passed away, and before that an assassination attempt had happened. Everyone was in a heavy mood, so it would be strange if there was any liveliness at all.
It was clearly a New Year's Eve dinner, but most of the people present had sullen faces.
Even singing and dancing do not arouse the interest of most people.
But Yu Youning was not among them.
As a princess of Nanzhao and the only princess currently living in the palace, Yu Youning naturally had to attend the New Year's Eve banquet.
Moreover, her position was not to Wei Zhao's lower left, but almost parallel to Wei Zhao.
When Yu Youning saw the singing and dancing at the Nanzhao Palace banquet for the first time, he found it very interesting.
In addition, the food on the table was exquisite, and she enjoyed the meal very much.
Wei Zhao would look at Yu Youning from time to time, and when he saw Yu Youning's happy look, there would always be more smiles in his eyes.
As soon as the dance ended and the palace maids in dance costumes had just left, someone stood up.
"Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve, and I have something to say! The harem cannot be left without a master for a single day. Please marry the queen as soon as possible!"
